My latest 2 project involved lots of jQuery , which remind me the old day when I start working on ajax and I even digging out some of the ajax tips that I already forgotten, so just want to share some of the basic tips for one of the basic jQuery function – load .
[unordered_list style=”tick”]

• You can load partial content , example the file that I going to load might have 2 div , I can just load the second part of content, which allow me to put all these partial content in a single file.
  $('#content').load('contact.html #div2');
• You should always load the content with dynamic number at the end of url , this prevent the browser cache the content, this is pretty obvious on IE , you might miss it if you using Firefox or Chrome.
  $('#content').load('contact.html/'+new Date().getTime()
• Remember to make use of call back function , this allow you to perform a follow up action when the content is finishing loading. If not your next action might start before the content is complete loaded.
  $('#content').load('contact.html'+new Date().getTime(), function() { alert('Load was performed.');})
• You can’t load a remote content/image which is out of your domain, the content won’t load and you will see some error message on Firefox/Chrome console, but you can trick it by loading piece of html with remote image.
  $('#content').load('<img src="remote img url">');
• The above method won’t work if you need to perform a follow up action once the image finish loading, the alternative solution is this.
  $('#content > img').attr('src', img).load(function() { alert('Image Load was performed.'); }
• One weird thing happen for above method on Firefox, it seem like Firefox will actually load twice for this code , compare to other browser which only load once, so I added a counter for Firefox browser to resolved this.

if you want you can download it  or play with the demo  and don’t forget to join in the domain list if you plan to use this theme.

so far i think the theme is quite good, it can be drag and drop all the block , drag some service example like flickr and notes to put as a block on the themes , the whole theme seem like an application, but the downsite its i feel the theme seem like on heavy load, i think that might be due to lots of ajax at the background.

P/S i just try this theme on this blog and it seem not so heavy load as compare to the demo i try, but this raise another question, it the theme heavy load due to lots of visitor ? althought not so heavy load but i believe it should be able to be more lightweight ..

It utilizes AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript & XML) techniques to create a remarkably realistic self-updating facsimile of the Winamp interface right in browser

The post Ajax-ed Lilina Release appeared first on I'm Knight.

Since i was playing a bit on xajax that time , i actually testing to apply the ajax on lilina-head , at first i just testing to add a feed by ajax , after that i was thinking how about ajax-ed the front-end of lilina-head ?

so the project start , i break the whole front page into small function .. after that rebuild all in a class and build the ajax-ed lilina , this is my demo, once i clean out the code , i will put up the package for download.

todo list 

• build loading logo – this been mention in mistake of Ajax
• tweak the code – now the demo site is holding 20++ feed, it seem like the max once over the limit the whole thing become very slow

pls feedback to me if you found any bug, this is my first ajax project, i m still quite new on this.
